e107 is a content management system written in PHP and using the popular open source MySQL database system for content storage. It’s completely free, totally customisable and in constant development.

e107 takes its origin from code originally used on the LiteStep websites. Jalist who was responsible for the development of those websites, wanted to re-use some of the code from litestep.net and ls2k.org and built a more modular system. This system could then be used as a codebase for other people to create their own community driven websites.

The codebase was maintained solely by Jalist until version 0.612 when a development team was formed. The development team now develops, maintains and builds releases for the e107 system.

In 2006 and 2007, e107 was nominated by the public as one of the five finalists in The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award, the results can be found here packtpub

The current stable release is 0.7.11. This version is an almost total rewrite of the 0.6x tree and includes hundreds (maybe thousands) of added features and bugfixes.
